Who Do You Think...

In a future issue of Total Politics, we want to do a written version of WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE on a current British politician.

Or if you are a reader and would like to suggest a politician we should approach, feel free to suggest a victim in the comments!

Still permitting Jonathan Cook to use that disgraceful profile picture Iain. Shame on you. How about John Leech MP - an appalling man willing to stop at nothing to get elected, including giving hoax leaflets to cancer patients? His dad's a Minister of the Church. How can this be?
